Question

I’m trying to create this box, but it’s a little over my head. I can’t get the spacing after the white header text to display correctly.

The live version is here, and the current CSS is below. A standard < p > inside the div ignores the bottom padding on hblock and I can’t help but think I’m going about this the wrong way. Is there a simpler way to create this element or something I’m missing in the code?

Many thanks.

#lheaderblock{display:block;
padding:0px 10px 0px 10px;
background-image:url('http://atlas.czg.net/atlas/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/caption_header_blue.gif');
height:160px;
width:90%;
border:1px solid #000000;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
overflow: hidden;}

hblock{position:absolute;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:14pt;
padding:10px 0px 20px 15px;}

I don’t know what <hblock> is. When browsers don’t know either, they will render them as inline element. You need to give it display: block and remove position: absolute. Tweak the padding and you’ll be fine.
